Preservation NC description, " Built in the mid- to late-18th century near the North River Straits, the Bell-Pigott House offers light-filled spaces and extraordinary water views through its many windows. The nearly three-quarter acre lot on Dick's Creek features mature trees, coastal breezes, and close proximity to the water, where a dock could be constructed. Retains several early features, including ballast stone foundation, "Straits brick" chimney, original plaster walls, and some original woodwork. Several additions were made over time, including enclosure of front and rear porches in the 1950s. Large attic could be remodeled for additional space. Requires full rehabilitation."
